Some updates from a recent workshop with Ian de Souza in his intriguing Fremantle home studio, where we learnt not only about drawing, but also some really interesting life experiences 
The clear structure of workshop, and Ian’s technique to ‘loosen up’ was extremely helpful to work on my own areas of drawing deficiencies.
‘Yin & Yang’.
The first half of the session primarily focused on developing visual observation and confidence in strokes, flow, and tones through drawing with charcoal and chalk.
Greyscale.
The second half was spent exploring tones and ‘natural tone’ of hues, and breaking through the mental barrier of using colours beyond realistic depiction through painting.
